AI-generated summary, reviewed by Better Utah staff.

Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) — a psychiatric treatment that uses brief electrical currents applied to the head to trigger a seizure — would be fully banned for anyone under 25 years old in Utah under this bill. Licensed health care providers who administer ECT to a patient under 25 would be subject to professional discipline for unprofessional conduct. The bill also removes electroshock therapy from the list of treatments in Utah's public mental health system that require special due process protections before being administered to children, since the treatment would be prohibited outright for that age group.
